These are the noodles…… they are dang good for a quick meal….. they come with sauce but we often do our own…. We also get their udon version as well. Very tasty too!

The chuck stock had about 3 cups of beef stock, then a Tbsp each of veg and beef base, then 4 Tbsp of hoisin and 2 Tbsp oyster & 5 Tbsp Soy. It makes a very good flavor! Exotic beef……..

Thank you for that info, I'm going to look for it next time I go shopping. Given that it's snowing here, that may be awhile.

Many thanks! Just happy to share….. this is my new honed in method for chucks…..I included the time….. ie chucks on at 9:40am and you are having a MEAL at 5:30…… works every time! Braising liquids can adjust for desired tone…..

So my story days are over, so here is what my boy made up tonight…… he caramelized some red onions in some balsamic and raw sugar

and then pan seared some more shrimp……the outside was having a freezing rain moment so all inside cooking……

So I made up a bowl of nachos….. some chips, graded white American melted under the broiler, then some of my wife’s queso & fresh salsa, then some shredded Chuck, shrimp, and onions along with some add on’s….

Holy smokes the caramelized onions were just magic…… PS he learned how to do these studying GR’s cook book!

This one is for the beef chuck @ the beach!

Thanks Brian, the shrimp were in a combination of chipotle peppers in adobo sause, raw sugar, lime juice, and garlic. The boy might have put some other stuff in it, but since I delegated making shrimp to him, I stay out of it unless it doesn't taste good..... LOL
